Monday's opener of a three-game series between the St. Louis Cardinals and host Detroit Tigers was postponed due to inclement weather in the forecast.

The teams will take the field for a straight doubleheader Tuesday at 3:40 p.m. Game 2 will begin approximately 40 minutes after Game 1's conclusion.

The Tigers entered the week four games above .500 after winning each of their past three series, most recently taking the final two games of a home set with Kansas City. The Cardinals have won four of their past six after a slow start to the season.

Pitching plans for Tuesday were not yet known. On Monday, the Cardinals were scheduled to start lefty Steven Matz (1-2, 5.55 ERA) against Detroit right-hander Kenta Maeda (0-1, 5.96).
